 PCOS or No? | |
I am Brand new to the forums and I am getting ready to start the Atkins diet but I do have a question. I am pretty sure I have PCOS but the Dr. hasnt confirmed. I started my periods when i was 14 but they were irregular and lasted less then 5 months and then went away, I havent had a period since. I have always been over weight, I have hair above my lip and on the my chin, i have some discoloration spots on my back and neck and I have a few skin tags. I was checked and I do have IR but no cysts on my overies. My doctor acted like I dont have PCOS because I dont have the cysts but I have everything else. I'm just not sure what to think about this. I was told that you can have all of the symptoms and still not technically have PCOS and that my weight can cause all of the symptoms but im just not sure what to think. Any help or insight would really help. Thanks |
